I recently asked a girl to be my girlfriend, and she said yes, but almost immediately i got a really tight feeling in my chest, and a weird gut feeling. Is this normal? It's been like a week and I still feel this way. I really like her, but it feels like my body doesn't.
We don't know, now get off the board.
Lovesickness is normal. It will go away when you adjust to her. Don't worry my man. Now heartbreak? That you do need to worry about. 10 months single here and I'm only beginning to feel ok. But you can't avoid that now. Don't worry, they say it gets easier each time. This woman is not your predestined future. The only moment that exists is now. Worry about now and not the future with regards to her. Good luck. Also, if you haven't had it yet, sex is great!

You're nervous, you're prolly out of your comfort zone. The weird feeling is adrenaline, it's pent up energy so find a way to channel it.
Don't worry about it dude. The more worry, the more you'll psych yourself out. Then it'll be years later and you go to sleep wondering why the fuck you were so worried and uncomfortable, and why did you let something that could've been amazing just slip away because your brain can't accept good things for some fucking reason.
Sorry I went a little far anon, been there, done that, shit is miserable.
"Tight feeling in chest + weird gut feeling"
That's called "adrenaline." Adrenaline causes faster heart rate and breathing, which might be felt as a tightness in the chest. It also reduces blood flow to the digestive tract, which might be causing the weird gut feeling.
When you see her, you feel anxiety, uncertainty, and an odd, visceral reaction? That sounds like love, anon. Congrats. Sorry it's not what you expected. Enjoy it. Work out, eat right, help her out, and say nice things to her. Let her get close enough to hurt you. Let things proceed naturally, and everything will be fine.

Question:
You said it took 10 months to get over her. Were you in any relationships prior? Did you have any romantic encounters prior?

There is a cure for that and it's prevention. Why you fuckers bothering with women. Fuck me, find a craft or an artform and work at it, perfect it. Women are a waste of time perusing.
I never have, and look at me, Im alright.
